North Carolina's attorney general Roy Cooper — who was one of the men named in the lawsuit brought on by gay rights groups over the bigoted law — has indicated the state will NOT defend its new law in court, calling it discriminatory and a "national embarrassment."

YAY!!!

Cooper noted that business leaders are not fond of the terrible law, saying:

If you're not big on International news, you may be surprised to learn that Indonesia is currently facing the largest epidemic in its history… the gay emoji 👬.

Ever since social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp updated their catalogs of textable toons to include different races 👳, sexual orientations 🌈, and religions ☪, the Indonesian government has been up in 💪💪.

For the past 36 years, China has been implementing one of the most controversial laws in the world to fight overpopulation… but the rule was officially abolished early Thursday morning.

1979's One-Child Policy made it so Chinese couples in urban living conditions were legally only allowed to have a single kid. But in an effort to make it so the current generation isn't too sparse, families all throughout the country may now have two children.

China's Communist Party made the announcement, calling the preexisting law a success, saying they prevented an estimated 400 million births in the span of nearly four decades — which is about 5.4 percent of the world's entire population!

Just last week, Dennis Rodman made his third trip to North Korea to help train their men's basketball team and attempt to set up a match for Kim Jong-Un's birthday.

The former basketballer has claimed that these trips are completely harmless, but it seems clear that he doesn't fully understand the seriousness of the situation overseas. Well someone who has seen the horrors firsthand is finally trying to give Dennis the wake-up call he so desperately needs!

Shin Dong-hyuk is a human-rights activist who was born in a North Korean labor camp and is the only know person to escape, and he's written an open letter to the big man in hopes of opening his eyes to reality in his home country.

Sophia took to Twitter on Monday calling for an all out boycott of Russia, and the upcoming Winter Olympics as a response to the punitive anti-gay laws currently in place, as well as a recently documented incident of intolerance, where five Russian men beat up a trans woman.

Ch-ch-check out her moving and strongly worded tweets…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

"My metabolism actually changed like crazy this year. I have Hashimoto's disease. It's a thyroid disease, and it's now been two years since taking the medication for it, so for the VS show I didn't want to lose any more weight, I just want to have muscles in the right place, and if my butt can get a little perkier, then that's good."
